Neighborhood Grants

​Eligibility

Any registered civic organization or active neighborhood watch can apply for a neighborhood grant. If your civic organization is not registered, you can do so at here. Neighborhood organizations, associations and watches are the preferred grant recipients. All projects must impact a neighborhood in the City of Lansing.

Projects of all sizes up to $5,000 will be considered to receive funding.

Organizations may apply for more than one project.

Applicants should complete separate applications for each project.

Applicants must indicate which project is their top priority on their application.

Applications for the 2018-2019 grant cycle will open on October 18, 2018.

The Neighborhood Advisory Board will host a Grant Kick-Off and Workshop at Foster Community Center on October 18, 2018 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Limitations

Funds should not be spent on labor. Labor consists of, but is not limited to, wages for labor, entertainment fees, honorarium, or travel. Neighborhood volunteer and in-kind contributions should be sought for projects. Some exceptions for technical work will be considered. Projects that require special equipment (i.e. licensed operation services) will be considered.

A request for an extension must be submitted on or before August 2, 2019 or the request will be denied and your group may not be eligible for the next grant cycle. Please contact the Department of Neighborhoods and Citizen Engagement for assistance.
